Back to School

It is time for me to do the unthinkable. I am actually returning to school. For the greater portion of my two year, unsuccessful job hunt, i had been staunchly against the idea of going back to school. I was positive that a B.A. in journalism would be enough to procure a nice job for myself.

Maybe it would have been, maybe my interview skills aren't that good. I know i have progressed by leaps and bounds since i started my job hunt. Ultimately however, i have found myself constantly applying and subsequently being rejected from jobs i am not even honestly interested in working. This kind of experience causes a man to start thinking about the future again.

I need to learn a trade, and i have chosen one. To be honest i always wanted to be a teacher, before i decided i should toss my hat into the journalism ring.

Hopefully I can get into the GSU school of education. I don't think it should be that difficult for me, it will just take some hard work, and that is exactly what I plan to give.

I found a lot of inspiration while watching my room-mates journey through the Emory college of medicine in order to become a nurse. There is a shortage of nurses, and he should basically walk onto a nice career once he is graduated. He is going to see an immediate return on all of his hard work.

I am very excited to be entering this new phase of my life. It is one that I think will work out very well for me in several different ways. The simple mental stimulation that one acquires in school has become attractive to me again.

I think going to get an advanced degree is the kind of thing a person must be truly inspired to do. I intend to take out student loans as opposed to working a job, granted the thought of massive debt is not the most attractive to me, but I think I will allow me a much more concise experience in graduate school. I want to glean every morsel of knowledge and expertise that can be offered to a person with an advanced degree.

This time I am really going to to this correctly.
